FOCUS :
THE SERVICES
Royal Air Force (RAF)
ike all the armed services,
you can join the RAF as
a regular or a reserve.
Regulars are full-time
personnel that work in lots of areas
involved in defence and peacekeeping.
Reserves train and work alongside
regulars in their spare time.
There are three rank structures
within the Royal Air Force: airman or
airwoman; non-commissioned aircrew;
and commissioned officer. You will
usually start off as non-commissioned
officer or airman/airwoman, and may
progress to commissioned officer.
While the film Top Gun promotes the
role of fighter pilots, a career in the RAF
includes many more varied roles. There
are currently over 50 full- and part-time
roles available, including intelligence
analyst, aircraft technician, biomedical
scientist, paramedic and weapons system
operator. Some roles require minimal
qualifications, others require specialist
skills and/or a degree. You can do special
RAF apprenticeships for some roles.
Many RAF members choose to live
on base, and you'll usually have evenings
and weekends off. However, it's definitely
not a standard 9-5 career! You're likely
to be posted overseas at some point in

You'll be responsible for maintaining the
aircraft and ensuring the engines, controls
and hydraulics are all fit for purpose. You'll
be working on transporters, helicopters,
jets and air-to-air refuelling aircraft.
You'll sign up for a minimum of nine years.
Your career will start with a 10-week Basic
Recruit Training Course (BRTC) at RAF
Halton in Buckinghamshire, designed to
help you adjust to a military environment.
As well as fitness and military training,
you'll also learn about the RAF lifestyle.
The next step is a specialist training course
at the Defence School of Aeronautical
Engineering at Cosford (DSAE Cosford),
near Wolverhampton, for five months.
This will give you a basic understanding of
aircraft handling and safety procedures.
You'll complete this course as an aircraft
maintenance mechanic (AMM) and
then get your first posting for about two
years. During this time, you'll undertake
an intermediate apprenticeship and
complete NVQ Level 2, and gain the
necessary experience needed for the
technician training course, which takes
a further 14 months.
You'll need...
To be aged 16-30 with
GCSEs (C or above)

maths and a science/
technology subject.

training; £17,845
plus benefits after
training.
Royal Navy
he Royal Navy includes
several branches, including
the Submarine Service,
Surface Fleet and Royal
Marines. They're responsible for
securing the waters, both in the UK
and internationally. This involves
preventing conflict, keeping shipping
lanes open, and preventing illegal
activities such as piracy, and drug
and human trafficking.
Roles in the Navy are wide and varied,
from mine clearance divers to helicopter
pilots to chefs. The work will be tough
and challenging, but you'll get paid to
travel the world and have some incredible
experiences. The Navy will pay for the
training you undertake - both to do
your job, and further training that will
be recognised by employers after you
leave the service.
There are two ranks: ratings and
officers. The entry requirements for
ratings are generally lower, with many
jobs requiring no formal qualifications.
Others require GCSEs. To join as an
officer, you'll need a minimum of three
GCSEs. For some specialist roles, you'll
need A levels or a degree.
You'll sign up for 18 years, or until
the age of 40, and start your career as an
'able rate'. With experience and training,
you could be promoted to leading hand.
You may then go on to become a petty
